Crew change happens @ DHN and then @ MGS!!
5 Minutes stoppage is sufficient for Crew change!!
At MGS, Loco change adds on extra stoppage timing!!

Re# 283437-2              
Are u sure.....5 mts enough for Crew Changing.....??? No other Superfast Trains also I've seen at least 10 mts where they change the crew for eg,NBQ,NJP,MLDT,KIR,LMG,DMV,PNBE,KGP,TATA....etc....I mean there are some formalities to be completed like handing over the Guard Booklet to the next Guard,Guard Noting Down All the details of WGSCN Coaches,carrying their Boxes from Combined Crew Lobby to the PF(Rear SLR)...same things need to be done at the Loco Pilot Cabin also...Then duties involving TTE,RPF Staffs....Can all these things be accommodated in 5 mts....???

The Number of Stoppages for this train are also very limited & it's schedule is damn tight . So cover up of Lost time for this train in Summer Season is not so tough . This train has the following advantages :-
------------------
1) The Dn Train 12358 trails the Howrah Rajdhani Exp (I have heard) .
2) The Up Train 12357 trails the

Guwahati Rajdhani at times .
3) This train has 10 - 11 stops en route that too via the Shortest Route between Calcutta & Amritsar (via DHN - GAYA - MGS - LKO - SRE - UMB) .
4) This train will soon get a Single Electric Loco by 2012 End or 2013 Beginning after it's Route Electrification gets completed .
+++++++++
PS : A Pantry , an Extra 1st Cum 2nd AC Coach + 4 Days increase in frequency will be added advantage for this train to perform wonders on it's route :)
